While the article is in Italian, the news is interesting.

Bicycle sales (for 2011) are holding steady at around 1.75 million bikes sold (as per the Italian Bicycle Makers Association), with only a slight decline in production in Italy to 1.48 million bikes, and an increase in exports of 8.8%.
Road bike: Cervelo R3, Campagnolo Chorus/Record mix...
Supercommuter: Jamis Renegade...
Oldie but goodie: De Rosa Professional Slx, Campagnolo C-Record...
And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.
